Machine Learning Engineer

Description

Welcome to Depop. We are the social marketplace where over 12M people come to buy, sell and discover unique items. Our mission is to empower creative minds by making our platform the place for the most vibrant communities in the world.

With headquarters in London, spaces in LA and New York, we have a team of more than 100 people dedicated to enhancing and developing the Depop experience for our global communities. And we’re just getting started.

At Depop we believe that the delivery of machine learning systems should be owned end-to-end by cross-functional teams responsible for product features. This mindset enables us to see research outcomes rapidly adopted by millions of users and allows us to provide a great experience for our users. It does, however, require an extremely versatile skill set to live up to this promise. Therefore we’re looking for a talented ML Engineer to help us to build scalable and robust machine learning systems.

You will also create your own data pipelines to get the necessary data and design and implement the back-end systems to run your work in production.
